Chapter 405 Demon King Orlan And Amara's Wish
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of her. It was a hulking demon with huge bat wings and blood-red eyes. Even his exposed skin was reddish.
However, the thing that stood out most was his powerful presence that would make any weak-willed person tremble and fall to their knees.
This demon was none other than Amara\'s father and the leader of this branch, Orlan.
Right now, he was looking at Amara as if she was some treasure. This look made her secretly gulp before she revealed a stiff smile and was about to kneel on one knee to greet him.
However, a force stopped her. Then she heard her father say, "Tell me, my child. Did what I just sensed was true? Have you really awakened your bloodline?"
Amara stood straight and nodded, "Yes, father. I\'ve awakened it."
Hearing the confirmation, Orlan silently looked at her and then said, "Show me. Release your bloodline energy."
Amara complied.
Boom!
She triggered her bloodline and her bloodline energy burst forth and turned into a blood-red halo around her.
"Oh?" Orlan raised a brow in surprise when he saw the halo before he suddenly burst out in a boisterous laugher and patted Amara\'s head.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA! Well done, my good daughter. You did very well."
He continued laughing for a good while before gradually calming down.
"With your bloodline purity, you can easily surpass me and easily become an emperor or maybe a monarch level demon and raise our branch tribe\'s standing." He said, his eyes glistening with expectations.
Hearing his words, Amara calmly nodded, "Yes, father."
"Hm. Alright. Now tell me, how did you suddenly awaken your bloodline? I heard you went to the dead forest with those two kids. How did they die?" He asked.
After he asked this, he suddenly vanished from his spot and appeared on his throne-like chair, which was placed in the middle of the hall.
Amara took a deep breath and started explaining, "Father might not know this, but I usually go to the dead forest to train. So, when I went out to train a few days ago, as always, Damon and Rager, elder Seriath\'s and elder Keritch\'s sons tagged along to ensure my \'safety\'."
"I trained there fighting beasts for a few days without any problem. But suddenly one day, a strange person completely covered in a black clock appeared. As soon as he appeared, he killed both Damon and Rager. Given how effortlessly he killed them, I knew I also wasn\'t his match, so I escaped."
"However, he easily caught up to me. Just as he was about to kill me, I was somehow teleported to a strange place where a very strong senior had left his legacy. I have no memory of what tests I took, but I know I failed."
After a pause, she continued, "But to reward my efforts, that senior\'s remnant soul helped me trigger my bloodline awakening before teleporting me back to the dead forest. Unfortunately, I was teleported a few meters inside the death valley. Because I my bloodline awakening had been triggered, I soon entered a dazed state."
"Since I was inside the death valley, I had thought I would never wake up, but I did. When I woke up, I was lying right outside the death valley and that human outside was sitting near me. He claimed he was the one who entered the valley and brought me out. That\'s why, to reward him for risking his life to save me, I took him in as my personal servant."
When Orlan heard her explanation, he fell into deep thought. After a while, he looked at Amara with a faint smile. "It seems you were quite lucky to turn the disaster into opportunity. As for that human, he must be extraordinary since he could bring you out of the death valley despite being only a two-star weakling."
Hearing this, Amara secretly got nervous. If her father said that he wanted to interrogate Max, it would cause a big problem for both Max and her.
However, Orlan didn\'t say anything about it and only looked at her with a faint smile. He then asked, "Now, leave all this aside. Tell me, do you have anything you want? As long as it\'s within my power, I\'ll give it to you."
When Amara heard this, she clenched her fists and hurriedly nodded, "Yes, father. There is something I want."
"What is it?" Orlan asked calmly.
"I want you to \'exonerate\' my big brother and give him back his young Lord\'s title." Amara said, her breathing quickening.
Orlan didn\'t show any hint of surprise. It was as if he already knew she was going to ask this.
"Watcher!"
He shouted.
Suddenly, the hall door opened, and a middle-aged demon appeared in front of them. He kneeled on one knee and greeted both Orlan and Amara. "Greetings, branch leader. Greetings, young lady."
"Hello, sir." Amara nodded politely in response. This demon was a high-ranking member of the tribe and was the in charge of supervising tribe\'s prison. He was also a peak five-star demon who had quite a high chance of breaking through to the king rank.
Moreover, he wasn\'t involved in her family\'s politics and had never caused any trouble for her. In fact, he helped her a few times by conveying her messages to her big brother because she wasn\'t allowed to meet him. So, she had to show him some respect.
"Watcher. Heed my order and release my eldest son, Ashroth. From this moment onwards, he is free of his previous crimes and is once again this branch\'s young Lord." Orlan ordered.
"Yes. Branch leader." The demon nodded. Immediately after, he took out his communication crystal and said a few words in it.
After storing it, he said, "It\'s done, branch leader."
"Good." Orlan nodded. He then shifted his gaze to Amara and smilingly said, "Why don\'t you go and welcome your big brother, now?"
Amara\'s face had already become red from happiness. When she heard her father\'s words, she immediately flew out of the hall.
As Orlan watched her leave in excitement, complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.
The Watcher stood up from kneeling without his permission and asked, "Orlan, aren\'t you worried about that kid Astroth\'s safety anymore? You know Osmont will definitely try to harm him when he hears of his release."
"Hehe, let him try." Orlan laughed.
The Watcher raised his brows at this and asked, "You know you can\'t interfere in their rivalry, right? If you do, Osmont\'s mother will ask her family to suppress you."
Boom!
When Orlan heard this, his demon energy and his king-ranked aura burst out of him like raging tides and turned chairs and other furniture into dust in an instant. He then said in a chilly tone, "If they dare to interfere in my family\'s matters, I\'ll kill every last one of them."
Hearing this, the Watcher\'s eyes sparkled as he asked, "Have you?"
Orlan shook his head. "Not yet. But I\'m confident I can do it before the invasion."
"That\'s good." The Watcher nodded. He then asked in confusion, "Do you know why the invasion is happening sooner this time?"
